An early Ethereum accumulator holding 154,076 ETH—acquired at an average cost of $517—has been systematically offloading positions. Over a 48-hour window, this wallet transferred 40,251 ETH (worth approximately $124 million) to Bitstamp, leaving 26,000 ETH still held. This sustained exit strategy raises important questions for market observers: Is the whale locking in gains from years of accumulation? Does the timing signal concerns about price levels? What does this supply pressure mean for ETH's near-term dynamics? Understanding such large holder movements provides crucial context for interpreting market sentiment and potential directional cues.

Damn, I was still broke when this guy bought at $517... Now he's throwing out 124 million in one go. It's really time to take the profits and run, huh?

Nah, this big whale is crazy, bought in at $517 and just running now... How are there still 26,000 left?
